The House Across the Street

Two families. One terrible secret. What did she see?

On Riverside Road, a pretty street lined with trees in the north of England, Anna steps outside her front door for a breath of air. Her eye catches on a light that shouldn’t be on in her neighbour’s house. Growing up, when the two families were so close, Anna used to know it better than her own.

Then Anna sees something horrifying and rushes across the road. Her scream tears through the night like a knife. Nothing will ever be the same on this perfect street again.

Inside that house, a man has been murdered. A few hours ago, he was the trusted local doctor, loved by so many families who trusted him with their secrets, their problems. Now he is dead.

Who killed him? If Anna finds the answer, will anyone believe her? And can she admit what she herself did to tear Riverside Road apart?

An astonishingly gripping psychological thriller about two families and a house hiding a terrible secret. With a truly shocking twist, if you love Lisa Jewell, The Woman in the Window or The Housemaid, you’ll adore this up-all-night, addictive thriller from USA Today bestseller Jill Childs!
